UNSPSC 25202902: Automatic dependent surveillance

Automatic Dependent Surveillance (ADS) is a surveillance technique in which aircraft automatically provide, via a data link, data derived from on-board navigation and position-fixing systems, including aircraft identification, four-dimensional position, and additional data as appropriate.

UNSPSC 25202902 Automatic dependent surveillance, a Commodity code, covers surveillance systems and equipment that track and report aircraft position, velocity, and other flight data automatically — technology that state and local aviation authorities deploy to enhance airfield safety, traffic management, and operational efficiency. State and local governments procure ADS equipment and services primarily through airport authorities and aviation departments operating commercial service airports, regional airfields, and general aviation facilities. The work includes installation and integration of ADS receivers and transceivers, software systems to process and display aircraft tracking data, system maintenance and technical support, and in some cases upgrade or replacement of legacy surveillance infrastructure to meet FAA modernization mandates or improve interoperability with regional air traffic management networks.
